The new essential self-healing bible – a revolutionary body-first guide
to regulating your nervous system, curing long-term pain and healing
from trauma for good.
Anxious, burnt out, tired, overthinking, angry, shutting down,
disassociating, procrastinating, people-pleasing, physical pain,
chronic unexplained symptoms. If you’re stuck, we can help.
Many of us have heard of nervous system dysregulation – but what does
it actually mean, and what can we do about it? The Secret Language of
the Body is your essential guide for moving out of survival mode, and
healing your mind and body.
When a person is burdened by stress, anxiety and trauma, their nervous
system adapts to help keep them alive in the short term, but can trap
them in survival mode long-term, with detrimental effects. This is the
state of nervous system dysregulation. Our autonomic nervous system is
responsible for the constant yet subconscious communication between our
brain and body, using a secret language that we urgently need to
understand. Mind and body practitioners Jennifer Mann and Karden Rabin
outline the three essential steps for resolving nervous system
dysregulation:
• Become aware of dysregulated body response and why they happen
• Interrupt these responses
• Redesign them into helpful reactions
Exploring the science and triggers behind nervous system dysregulation
and polyvagal theory, and including a comprehensive manual of
cognitive, somatic, developmental and vagus nerve-based practices, this
book will teach you exactly how to create meaningful and positive
changes in your mind and body today. This is your moment to awaken the
vast potential hidden within yourself, become fluent in your body’s
inner dialogue and truly heal.
Find inspiration in your daily life and explore your path ahead with this handy guide to the 12 Chinese zodiac animal signs.
Consult the Chinese zodiac to identify the animal sign that rules your birth hour, day and year, and better understand yourself and your life path ahead. Each of the 12 animal signs possesses unique traits, further shaped by the five key elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
Here you will find out whether you are the charismatic tiger, the courageous dragon or the daring and entrepreneurial monkey, and insights into your family and friends' characteristics too.

Ten protocols to counteract the “chronic ease” that creates our modern
epidemic of dis-ease, from a wellness industry leader who can prove
they work―because he’s tested them on himself.
Jeff Krasno, the founder and CEO of the global wellness platform
Commune Media, thought he was pretty healthy. Though he suffered from
brain fog, chronic fatigue, and bouts of insomnia, those symptoms
seemed utterly normal in today’s society. When he learned he had
diabetes, his first thought was, How can that be? I run a wellness
company!
His diagnosis propelled him to interview 300 doctors and engage in
endless “me-search” in order to turn his health around. On this
journey, he began to form a larger picture of what’s wrong with our
health in the modern world. In Good Stress, he shares what he’s learned
and outlines a practical program for readers to reset their own health.
Jeff explains that the comforts and conveniences of modern life in the
developed world undermine our biology. Humans evolved with Paleolithic
stressors and scarcity, which conferred health and resilience.
Modern life sets us up for diabetes, dementia, heart disease, cancer,
and more. Chronic disease is the result of chronic ease: an endless
abundance of calories, sedentary desk jobs, exposure to blue light, and
separation from nature. To come back into balance, we need to
thoughtfully subject our bodies and minds to the stressors we’re
naturally built for.
This book distills the hundreds of conversations that Jeff has had with
acclaimed teachers and practitioners in mind-body wellness, including
Gabor Maté, Mark Hyman, Marianne Williamson, and Sharon Salzberg. In
Good Stress, Jeff gives readers uncommonly wise and relatable guidance
for 10 practices, including:
· Time-restricted eating
· Cold and heat exposure
· Light therapy
· Eating “stressed plants”
· Building our “psychological immune system” and more
For each practice, Jeff shares his own experience (there’s a great
story of how Wim Hof finally convinced him to get into an ice bath);
unpacks the science behind it, the place it has in our culture, and the
effects it has on body and mind; and explains how to undertake it
safely and mindfully.
This lavish visual history-featuring over 150 new, full-colour
illustrations-is a stunning introduction to House Targaryen, the
iconic family at the heart of HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series,
House of the Dragon. For hundreds of years, the Targaryens sat the
Iron Throne of Westeros while their dragons ruled the skies. The
story of the only family of dragonlords to survive Valyria's Doom
is a tale of twisty politics, alliances and betrayals, and acts
both noble and craven. The Rise of the Dragon chronicles the
creation and rise of Targaryen power in Westeros, covering the
history first told in George R. R. Martin's epic Fire & Blood,
from Aegon Targaryen's conquest of Westeros through to the infamous
Dance of the Dragons-the bloody civil war that nearly undid
Targaryen rule for good. Packed with all-new artwork, the
Targaryens-and their dragons-come vividly to life in this deluxe
reference book. Perfect for fans steeped in the lore of Westeros,
as well as those who first meet the Targaryens in the HBO series
House of the Dragon, The Rise of the Dragon provides a must-have
overview for anyone looking to learn more about the most powerful
family in Westeros.
In picking up this book you have just taken the first step towards
discovering that everything about yourself is worth exploring. You
are an amazing complex and exciting being. You already know it is
very necessary to feel well, be healthy and full of vitality. In
Body Mind Connections, a revised and extended edition of Essential
Connections Felicity Mackinnon continues to provide a unique
perspective on the body and its complexities. And especially the
unity of the body and mind. In this beautifully presented book
virtually the whole body is explored giving the broadest view of
how and why the body's functions, processes and emotions and
irrevocably interlinked. the book excellently demonstrates how
these determine our health. It makes compelling reading. This book
is full of valuable insights into the cause and effect of what we
do, think and experience, especially our beliefs about ourselves.
Knowing how and understanding why enables us to help ourselves. Our
emotional responses, reactions, feelings and beliefs all impact on
out body: they are one unit. This is about the true wholeness of
the body which is our complete self. Because our body therefore
carries all our experiences, we need to see that there is so much
more to ill-health than just the physical-autonomous body and its
separate parts holding the symptoms and the illness. Our energy is
the key. Its source, its quality and influence need to be realised,
acknowledged and valued. Therefore easy methods of working on, and
improving it for better health and ways of coping with life's
experiences and relationships, are amply provided here too. You
couldn't do better than have Body Mind Connections as part of your
life and health.

practical tools, author Jamie Varon is your guide to radical
contentment-a satisfied life outside the bounds of societal
expectations. Too many of us are waiting for our lives to begin,
putting our happiness on layaway for some future version where it
all lines up, when we've accomplished it all, when we have the
perfect career, bodies, partners, and when our lives finally feel
"good enough." But what is good enough? Who gets to decide? And
when do we ever reach it? Jamie takes a sharp, incisive look at the
industries that are constantly telling us to do more, be more, and
keep striving, pushing, and hustling-and shows you how to radically
opt out of societal conditioning. We've learned to be terrified of
contentment, thinking it will lead us to complacency. Yet, being
content in a world that profits off our dissatisfaction is not
complacency. It's revolutionary. Radically Content makes the case
for a new framework of living. Exploring themes like guilt, I'll be
happy when..., anxiety, settling, control, healing, shame,
self-trust, and being our own worst enemies-not only will you
unlearn the dogma of that discontent, but learn practical tools to
create a more satisfied life for yourself, including: Cultivating
real self-trust Defining your own version of "success" Living with
intention Rewriting your personal narrative Creating consistent and
healing rituals Packed with revelatory insights, Radically Content
is an exhale. A respite from the chaos of our current world. A calm
place to land when you've had enough with trying to be enough.
